449 "For Your Sake" is the Most Cunning Trick (2/2)

On the other hand, Roland was better and better at casual spells.

Unhindered Communication, which could only last 14 hours before, had been lengthened to 24 hours.

It was a shame that Roland couldn't find more models of casual spells, or he would've learned them to see if he could have new breakthroughs.

He had almost learned everything that could be learned from auto-repair.

Half a month later, Roland made the delivery to Charles in his Magic Tower.

After examining the equipment, Charles nodded and smiled at Roland opposite him. ”The equipment is perfect. I'm very satisfied. You did a great job.”

”Thank you,” said Roland casually.

He felt that Charles seemed even more arrogant than the last time they met.

”Are you really not going to work on any equipment in the next half-year?” asked Charles.

Roland nodded.

He posted the thread in the forum offering to enchant equipment only for free materials to practice with. Now that he got the hang of auto-repair, it was unnecessary for him to work so hard anymore, or the market would be disturbed and other players would hate him.

He had made 480 gold coins from the deals with Douglas and Charles. Plus the additional materials that he didn't use, he earned at least 700 gold coins.

It was enough for him to fund his magic school for a dozen years even if he didn't have any other sources of income.

Besides, the taxes of Delpon, the revenues of the Magic Tower's properties, and the gold coins teleported from the sand statue made up a lot of money every month, so Roland was no longer in danger of poverty.

”What a shame,” Charles said. ”You could make more money when you have the best opportunity… There's no need to bother with the grunting people on the forum. Money itself is a vindication of your capabilities. People will respect you as long as you're rich. They don't care how you made the money.”

Roland slightly frowned, but then said, ”I'm just tired. Besides, I've really learned something, and I need to study it in seclusion without disturbance.”

Charles shook his head and said, ”That's not the right attitude toward wealth. You have to seize opportunities when they appear, or they will slip away.”

Roland stared at him in silence. He felt that the guy wasn't done yet.

”If you're only worried about the materials, that's easy.” As expected, Charles continued, ”I've asked my guild to purchase the materials for auto-repair. We have more than one-third of all the materials in Hollevin.”

Roland was briefly stunned. ”So, the fluctuations of the material prices were caused by you.”

”It was no big deal.” Pride flashed on Charles' plump face. ”I think we can cooperate.”

Roland was stunned for a moment. He suddenly remembered what Douglas told him a dozen days ago.

Was Douglas such a visionary?

”How will we cooperate?” Roland couldn't help but ask.

”I'll provide materials.” Charles slightly leaned forward in excitement. ”You will be responsible for processing. Then, I'll sell the equipment to clients. How does it sound? By then, we can monopolize the auto-repair market in Hollevin or even the whole world.”

”Then how much money can I make?”

”I'm responsible for the raw materials, the sales, and marketing.” Charles stared at Roland passionately. ”You don't need to do anything other than processing. How about five gold coins per piece of equipment? The amount can be adjusted according to customer satisfaction.”

Roland was briefly stunned. Then, he began to chuckle.

This Charles was really interesting.

According to him, Roland's job was truly easy. He didn't need to do anything except process the equipment to earn five gold coins apiece.

However, the man forgot that Roland was the upper stream of the industry.

Why would I work for you? Even if you have materials, clients, and channels, I am the one who can process the equipment, and I'm not short of money.

Besides, I have my own channels. The players' forum is exactly one.

Roland shook his head and said, ”Sorry, I'm not interested. I'm not really short of money right now.”

Charles seemed rather upset. ”Almost all the materials in Hollevin are in my possession. You will have to come to me even if you want to make auto-repair equipment in the future. Also, I don't believe that you are the only person capable of auto-repair. Like I said, this is not an opportunity you see every day.”

”Then you're free to look for other people who are capable of the technique,” Roland said peacefully. ”I really don't have any time.”

Charles was even angrier, but then he smiled. ”What a shame. You are just an ordinary person who's too scared to grab the opportunity near at hand anyway. Brother, a real man has to take chances, or he won't achieve anything in life.”

Roland closed his hands and said, ”I think that I will achieve more than you.”

Roland's face was calm, but the smile on his lips seemed to be mocking him.

Charles was stumped. Then, he was rather enraged.

He stood up and gazed at Roland. Then, he shook his head and left the Magic Tower.

Standing at the window, Roland watched Charles leave the square before the Magic Tower and waved the ring.

Vivian walked in.

Roland said to her, ”Ask someone to go to the Guild of Mercenaries. I want information on the Cornucopia. The more detailed, the better.”
